Siemens Energy Announces €4 Billion Tender Offer For Siemens Gamesa

Spanish stock market regulator CNMV (Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores) has announced that it has authorised the EUR 4.05 billion ($4 billion) bid of Siemens Energy for the purchase of the shares in Siemens Gamesa which is a registered entity in Spain. A third of the shares in Siemens Gamesa is not owned by Siemens Energy.

In May this year, Siemens Energy announced its plan for the purchase of the remaining one-third shares of the wind turbine maker. The reason behind the plan was to enhance its control over operational problems at the Spanish unit that issued three profit warnings in less than a year.

The official statement released by CNMV, per share has been kept at EUR 18.05 which also constitutes a premium of about 28% over the last unaffected closing share price of Siemens Gamesa.

Siemens Energy is also mulling an extraordinary meeting of the shareholders to approve the delisting of Siemens Gamesa. But this will take place only after it reaches 75 per cent ownership in the Spanish unit.
